Rayner’s PovEverything was irritating to me and I just wanted to disappear but I have Nath here with me so I can’t. I was just so sad knowing I lied to Mom and Nath too. Yeah, I have done some stuff to Mom that she didn’t like but so far, this is just the biggest.The fact that Nath was lying with so much confidence to Mom got to me, but what could I do? Nothing. He was doing me a favor, just like I was doing him a favor. At some point, I was finding it very difficult to breathe because the lies were choking me.A part of me was glad that although Mom suspected something, she didn’t drag it much cause Nath’s lies were very convincing. I continued to pretend everything was okay till we left Mom’s place. Nath drove me to my place and when I was about to step down, he asked me if he should go while he sent someone to come pick me up or I would rather pick a few things and follow him home. I picked the latter cause I just didn’t want to face his Aunt alone.He waited for me outside whil
Rayner’s Pov“Good morning.” I greeted Nath as soon as I came out of my room.He had called me on the phone earlier to get dressed and after giving me a few hours, he called me again to come outside as he had someone to introduce to me. As an obedient contract marriage partner, I came out.“Done dressing up?” Nath asked me.“Yes,” I replied.Nath kept looking at me like he was lost in his thoughts. When he didn’t say anything after a few seconds, I waved at him and he blinked.“I am so sorry. I got carried away thinking about something,” he said.“It's fine, so, what do you intend to show me?”“Your driver, he is outside, can we go?” he stretched his hand toward me with his palm open and I took it.Was he acting more gentle than before or was I just overthinking? We got outside and a face I had never seen before was standing beside the BMW x7 that was usually used to pick me up.“This is your driver, Joel, Wherever you want to go, he will be the one to take you. Please Ray, always mak
Nathaniel’s PovI had called Ray earlier to get ready so she could go see Mac Jayson and spend some time with him. I gave her a few hours and I called her again and she said she had dressed already so I left my room to meet her.When Ray opened the door and came out of her room, she looked very beautiful and I must say that I got lost staring at her. I knew she was beautiful before then but the beauty I was seeing while I stood in front of her was beyond what I had seen before.I kept looking at her, fantasizing and complimenting her in my head when I saw her wave her hands in my face. I quickly responded to what she said and after that, I took her outside to introduce her driver to her.She left and I couldn’t clear her beautiful face off my head. I went to the company where Davis informed me about the interview I was supposed to have at a media house but I told them to come to Blue Nath and they were already waiting for me to arrive.I got there and the arrangement began immediately
Rayner’s PovGetting a contract from Nath’s business partner was not something I had ever imagined although Betty had told me I could get a lot of such opportunities but I still didn’t think about it.Mr. Nelson kept saying a big contract but I still couldn’t get a glimpse of the big he was referring to. Would he get more gadgets than Nath from us? Over the years, Nath’s request has been the highest which is one of the reasons Director Kim would do anything to get it.And besides being the highest, it adds to Cee Enterprises' name.“I will send you the design of the computer I have and then will we continue from there. Good luck.” Mr. Nelson said before he left.The other men with him have assured me that they were going to get to me if they needed any gadget. They left before us and after a while, Nath asked if they would leave. The truth is, I have been thinking about work and the fact that I haven’t gotten any client in a while was killing me.But I think right now I will say, you
Rayner’s PovI was matching out of Nath’s room with so much energy, my heart jumping with so much joy inside of me while his heart was broken, I don’t know though. I opened the door and as soon as dropped my first step outside Nath’s room, I saw Aunt Eli looking at me.I jumped up and almost screamed but I managed to control myself.“Aunt Eli, you scared me,” I said holding my chest. I heard Nath rushing to the door.Aunt Eli smiled, “I am sorry, Ray. I didn’t mean to.” She apologized, but I still haven’t gotten myself back.“Aunt is everything okay?” Nath asked her from behind me.Aunt Eli nodded, “Yes, everything is okay. I was just so surprised to be told by the maid that Ray was inside your room like it’s the first time since she came here.” Aunt Eli said.I moved my hand to my back hiding the agreement file in my hand, she must not see it. “Umh, yes, I went in to ask him about something.” I came up with an excuse.“That’s great. Since the both of you are now engaged and live in t
Rayner’s Pov“Wow, it's good to see you back to work again,” Carista exclaimed as she ran toward me to hug me.“I have missed everyone so so much,” I said patting her back.“You are looking very beautiful,” He bit her finger and then continued, “Perhaps, I would take a week off, I am looking like a shadow of myself right now.” She said.“You can say whatever you want to say, but I will be honest with you. You still look amazing. Also, I didn’t intentionally leave work. I had some engagement, and then I brought good news, which would be made known later.” I explained to her.“Alright then, I can’t wait to know what it is,” Carista said with a hopeful smile on her face.“Director Kim?” I asked her.“He is in his office. Since you left, he has always been angry at everyone and he has a lot of work to do with no one to share it with.” Carista crossed her hands over her chest and gently shaking her head, she said, “The man is going through a lot right now.” She turned to me, “But thank goo
All through the day at the office, I kept getting congratulations and that gladdened my heart. I have not been regular to work for some days and then I returned with a big contract. It was things like these I prayed for.Before the end of the day working hours, I was informed by a security personnel that Joel was waiting for me. Director Kim allowed me to go as he didn’t want to keep Joel waiting but asked me to tell Joel the actual closing time or I should call him to come.It was a great idea and I was going to tell him that.“Why did you come this early? I still have about forty-five minutes before I can leave work.” I asked him after getting into the car.“I am sorry Ma’am, but it’s an instruction from Mr. Blackwood just to be sure you are safe.” He explained.“It’s fine but from tomorrow, you should arrive here when it’s about ten minutes to, okay?” “Yes Ma’am,” he replied.“Great, take me to my place, need to get the other stuff,” I said.Joel turned the car toward my house, an
Nathaniel PovI was hurt by her words and even though I tried to hide it, my emotions failed me. I lay on the bed, exhausted by the day's activity and Ray’s harsh words.Aunt Eli wasn't helping matters in any way because she had told Ray to spend the night in my room. After a few minutes, I observed Ray was not comfortable and then I had to ask her.She told me the challenge she was facing at that moment and to me, it wasn't something that she should be stressed about.I told her a few business tips and also what to send to Mr. Nelson and her next move came as a big surprise to me.She hugged me and muttered a thank you. For the first time, I got very close to her and even sniffed in her perfume. She smells like heaven.I could tell she was very grateful and that's because she hugged me. When she sent the reply to Mr. Nelson and he gave her a response, I explained a few more tips to her.We spoke about business for a long time before she felt sleepy and couldn't hide it. We argued a l
Rayner’s PovI had gotten up before Nath just so I could prepare breakfast and his lunch. I was almost done in the kitchen when he woke up, then I had gone to check on him if he was up.“Hey Nath, are you up now?” I asked him when I saw him sitting down on the bed with his eyes still closed.“Still feeling sleepy and a bit weak.” He replied, his eyes still closed.I walked to him to check his temperature but it was normal for someone just waking up when he opened his eyes, they were red and that scared me a bit.“Or maybe you should just stay at home just for today and rest well, what do you think?” I asked him.“It's a great idea but I can’t do it because an investor in Blue Nath is returning to Diavolo today and he wants to know what has been going on since he has been absent because of his health,” Nath explained.“Okay, how about you come back home as soon as you are done with him? That way, your employees would know you did come before you left, and if these symptoms persist afte
Rayner’s PovI didn’t expect I would be called because why should I I did think of something I wanted my current menstrual tracking app to have and finally, I did.I wanted to stand up to speak because other speakers have done that before but then Nath held my hand and made me sit back. He got closer to me and whispered into my ears.“You are my wife which simply means, you would have been on this seat if I wasn’t here so you should sit down to address everyone,” Nath said.I nodded and then sat well before talking.“Good day everyone,” I greeted. “As regards the question, I love the menstrual tracking am and I currently use the one made by **** and I must say it is very nice but there is a challenge. Not just for this one I use but for the others I have used.”“A major challenge is that the symptoms aspect is limited. They give the symptoms which is not the same for everyone. I believe that is because a survey was carried out with a few ladies and generalized.”“Menstrual symptoms ar
Rayner’s Pov“Thank you for helping me out.” I thanked the male staff when we got into the elevator.I was happy that my plan would still pull through despite the little obstacle I faced earlier all thanks to the staff with me.“It's nothing Mrs. Blackwood and I am sorry I didn't tell you, Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.” He looked at me, waiting for a response.“It's fine, I can wait for him, thank you for the help,” I said.“Okay,” he replied.We arrived at the floor Nath was having his meeting and to my dismay, right outside the meeting room was Davis on a phone call with someone.Davis ended the call immediately he saw me and walked to me.“Mrs Blackwood, you didn't inform Mr. Blackwood you were coming?” Davis asked.“No. Just want to surprise him.” I said.“Well, you should have informed me so I could have come pick you up from the lobby rather than going through the stress of finding Mr. Blackwood,” Davis said.“At least I did find you both,” I said and we all laughed.I thanked
Rayner’s PovAgain, I am sorry to ask, did he eat breakfast before leaving the house?” I asked the maid who was in the kitchen with me.She thought about it for a while and then replied. “No Mrs Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood refused to take breakfast and while I tried to insist because Aunt Eli instructed he shouldn’t leave the house without taking breakfast, he said you weren’t there to eat with him so there was no need for him to.” The maid said.I got goosebumps all over my body. Did Nath truly say that to the maid? I regretted not waking up early to prepare something for him since I wouldn’t be going anywhere and I could sleep if I were tired.“Okay, I think I would have to take this food to him myself,” I announced.“That would be a great idea Mrs Blackwood and I am very sure Mr. Blackwood is going to love it.” The maid clapped her hands happily which made me ask her why she was so happy.“Why are you so happy about my decision?” I asked.“Because it will save me from a lot of explana
Rayner’s Pov “Good morning Nath.” I greeted having woken up late. There was no need for me to wake up Walt and get dressed because I wouldn’t be going to the office but I would be working from home. After the doctor's instruction that I rest, Nath called Director Kim and made taken excuse on my behalf and Director Kim didn’t dare to say no even when it didn’t go well with him. “Good morning my love, how was your night?” Night asked. He was dressed up for work already while I was still lying in bed. Wait, did Nath just call me his love? Hahaha, I honestly hope he just said that for fun. “My night was not so great and not so bad either but all the same, I had a wonderful night's rest,” I replied to him. “Huh?!” Nath walked to the bed and sat beside me, “Why wasn’t your night entirely great?” He questioned me, concern all over his face. “Nothing. Just the thought of me not going to work today was disturbing.” I sighed. “I am sorry about that but there is nothing I can do because
Rayner's Pov“I had wanted to tell you after we finished eating but it seems you are not having it which I guess I the reason you came to join me in the Kitchen,” Nath said.I smiled, my teeth showing very well, “Well Mr. Blackwood, I am sorry to say this to your face but you are very wrong with your conclusion. I didn't come to join you in the kitchen because I wanted you to tell me about Natasha. After all, to me, she is not so important.”I continued, “I came to the kitchen to join you because I felt bored especially when I know you are here. Since you have planned on telling me what you want FL to tell me about Natasha after we are done eating, it's fine and I can wait.” I said.“It's too late now,” Nath touched my nose, “I have driven the maids out and I have already told you I was going to talk to you about it, so I will. Remember, I am a man of my word.” Nath pointed out.I raised both hands, “For me, whenever you choose to tell me is fine but so long it's today, I am good.” I
Rayner’s Pov“What do you mean Rayner?” Nath asked me.Without hesitating, I repeated my question, “Who is Natasha,” This time, my tone and voice were a bit low.“Rayner, I think you need to calm down. I can’t tell you who Natasha is while you are in this mood, it will ruin a lot of things, please, just calm down a little.” Nath said and that provoked me even more.Does Nath think I am a fool and that I won’t do my research about Natasha or, was he thinking I am in love with him already and he just doesn’t want to lose me? I wish someone could just tell him to stop dreaming.“Hold on Nath, this Natasha has been calling you for days, and anytime I am with you, you excuse yourself just to go speak with her and if you can’t leave, you simply ignore the call. I will ask you this question for the last time Nath and after this, I won’t ask again…”Nath placed his finger over my lip, “Please hold the last time till we get home. I can’t tell you who she is right here in a public place. Just h
Rayner’s PovI opened my eyes with force as soon as I became conscious and sitting beside me while holding my hand was Nath.“Hey, I am here, you are safe, take a deep breath,” Nath said and I calmed down a bit.“How did I end up here, Nath?” I asked.“I have no idea. I was called by Director Kim that you suddenly lost consciousness and you were being taken to the hospital. After I arrived here, I called him to explain what truly happened and he said he was told you were about to go get water when you suddenly fell.”“He said he wasn’t there when it happened but he was told. Do you remember anything? I asked him to bring out the CCTV recordings from that very moment. He said he was going to get back to me.” Nath explained to me calmly.I felt a sharp pain in my head and then I remembered what truly happened.“Oh, I remember now. I was about to get water because I was always feeling tasty and then there was a sudden blackout. What did the doctor say is wrong?” I asked him.Nath breathe
Rayner’s PovI entered the department and all I could see was everyone on their computer, including Carista. I was a bit late because of Nath’s delay and also there was a little traffic on the way. Was there an activity I wasn’t told about? Because why was everyone busy?I tiptoed to Carista to ask her what was going on. “Carista, what is going on, why is everyone busy this morning?” I asked in a whisper.“I believe you didn’t open your email throughout the weekend. Well, we got so many clients that we don’t know where they came from or rather, we haven’t confirmed where they came from. You should go sit down and get to work immediately because who knows, yours might just be more than mine and that of Director Kim.” Carista advised me.I sighed as I went to my desk to see what I had got on my side. I put on my computer and while I waited for it to finish its refreshing process, I sipped from my water. I felt a slight pain on my head which forced me to close my eyes for a few seconds t
